An i pcnnaclnu ludlrlmrnt. TYhen the senate substitute for the bill rassed by this hotise in the Fiftieth concress, which substitute Is a real basis of the existing law. was beia? prepared. Senator H ar o Massachusetts appeared before the senate sub-committee and used this lansaace: "Instead of romin? before

A:;:ruh thinks it likely to bo. is entirely satisfactory to the interests 1 rcprev.TU with the exception of ote x.r two. and the paper in regard to these casts I have h an 11 to Mr. Aldrleh." No stronger indictment of the whole protective system c.:u!d be made than that which is unconscioiislv carried in thes words of a fnito-1 Stat -s senator, that laws which impost taxes on the prreat masses of the j.-ople mast tie written in liniru.trre so technical th tt the most. Intelligent citizen cannot fully understand them, and that rates of taxation should be lictated b- the s-Itishness and trreed of tii'ise who are to receive the taxes. We have believed that the first step toward a reform of the tarüT should be a release nf taxes rn the materials of industry. There can be no substantial and benefi"ial reduction upon the necesrarj' clothing and other comforts of the Am erf -oan peorlo nor any s j!.str.ntial and benelicial enlarsrernent of the field of Amrlca.n laix.r so Ions? as we tax materials ar.d processes of production. Every tax i:pon the producer falls with increasel force on the consumer. Kverv tax on the producer in this country is a protection to i :s competito-s in all oiher cotintrles. and t o narrows his market as to limit the number and le;on the wares of those to whom l.e can jrive employment. "iiif f the Clinngre. Up-n the larper sizes of plate glass, where the duties were even hlfther, we have made a reduction of about one-third. In the iron and sted schedule, be?rinninr 1-h free ore and a duty of 2114 per cent, f n pur iron, we have reported a scale of ' liti.s considerably below those of the exi law, graduated according to the de-ji--e of manufa-cture. which should brir.e benefit to consumers without calling for any halt in the imperial progress of that ftreat industry in our country. The duty upon steel rails has been put at 25 per cent., v.hhh. cccorlns: to the reports of cur department of lator, quite compensates for ail diTer-nces in the cost of production in this country and abroad. There seems to be an authentic report that the pool of American rail-makers which, under the shelter of the present duty of J13 44 per ton. has kept up prices to the American consumer far beyond the cost of production and legitimste profits, has been reorganized to continue the regulation of their prices above the proper market rates. As all shippers, and especially American shippers, are vitally interested In cheapening the cost of transportation, rates of duty upon fcteel rails should be adjusted so as to protect them from monopoly prices and monopoly combinations. I'pcn tin plate the duty has been sauced xiitn ref-renee to the revenue, what it will brmsr into the treasury and the difference between this duty and that upon the black piite has been lessened with a view to discourage what may not unjustly be called the "botnig industry" of making American tin x-iate. by the mere dipping In thi3 country of the Imported black plate. Tie Sncar Schedule. In the surar schedule, we should have preferred to wipe out the existing bounty , erstem. We believe it to be contrary to the Fpirit of our Institutions, and can conceive of no circumstances under which we have provided its introduction into our laws. We have found It esistinp there, as we find it virtually existing in every other fhejjie of the tariff, and d alin with It In this form as we have dealt with other Bch-"jjioH w!ere larne property interests are at rtak, we have reported a provision for its repeal by surh etaes. as sl-r.i: ::r,?du;:!!y ou,um rate it from oar .av.s, while permitting ilio.ie who have lr.vst'-d lare ir.ea.as, ur.Jt-r the expectation of its continuance. : reasonable time in which they Vriay prepare to take tiieir stand with the fi-.-r Sr !.,-'ri-s of th country.

To Help the F"irmer. HeeoRnlzins that the Amertca'i farmer has been through many ; ears of the protective fystetn, thut he tu been Induced to support U under the delusive promise that by Immense present sacrificed he was buyln for himself at a hor.K market, and that this promised home market Is farther from him today than ever before, we have endeavored to secure for hlr.i such relation of burdens as will permit him to en.loy mere of the fruit? of his own hard and faithful lalor. To the furm-VK of th? country we have j-tven ur-taJied agricultural lm,plementa and btndin; twine, and tajfd cotton tlej for the additional reason, In the latter case, that cotton Is the largest export crop of the country sold abroad In competition wdth the cheap labor of India and of Eftypt, bel:vins; that It was suflicient for the private tax-cat herer to tollow the farmer In the markets of his own country, and not to pursae him Into all the markets of the world. As cotton bttfrjrln can be used but once, we have thought it but Just to extend the drawback system to such barfrlnj? made of jute butts, when ured upon cur exported cotton, a privilege which the exporter of wheat can already now enjoy, coupled with the further advantage that the same b.-crs may be used for successive exportations of grain. In the schedule of spirits, wines and other beveracres. the changes made are sl!?ht. and with the view to the production of increased revenue from these very prcper sources of revenue taxation. It may be said that we are not justified In making so iarge a reduction in revenue at a time when government receipts and expenditures can no lonser be balanced, and when some new sources of temporary revenue must be sousrht for. We have been compelled to retain some articles upon the dutiable list and to leave some duties higher than we deslrel, because of the present necessity of the treasary. but .ve have not felt that any temporary shrinkage of revenue should deter us from t Groins out as faithfully and as effectually oh we could the instructions piven by the American people when this congress was put into power. Our own experience, ar.l that of other countries, has sliov.n that a decrease of tariff duties ImmMiütMy operates to secure such an enlargement of commerce, and of production and consumption as to meke up ar.j- apparent loss of revenue threatened by tlicse redactions. An Important Clinnitc A most Important change in the bill proposed from the present law will be found in the general substitution of ad valorem for specific duties. This must always be the characteristic of the revenue tariff levied upon a large ranue of articles, especially when they Include the plain necessaries of life. It is the purpose of the present bid to repeal in toto s-v. 3 of the tariff act of Oct. 1. 1S9, commonly, but most erroneously called the reciprocity provision. That act placed surrar. molasses, coffee, tea and hides on the free list, but authorized the president, should he be satisfied that the goveiTiment of any other country producing such articles, in-.posl duties upon the agricultural or other products of the United States which he might deem reclprocallj- unequal and unreasonable to susnend the provision tinder which these articles were admittted in'o this countryfree. This section has brought no apppreciable advantage to American exporters, and is not. In intention or e:Toc. n provision for reciprocity, but for retaliation. A ItKLIC OF TUR FA IlLI'Il HOC.

Interesting Disco-very in Mnlanenr of itn Kkc of the (.lanllc llird. A large speclment of the epg of the fabled roe of the "Arabian Nights," or Kpyomis, as the extinct gigantic bird of Madagascar is calkd, has been 'Recovered by some natives about twe:i;y miles to the southward of St. Augustine's bay. on the southwest co.a-t of Madagascar, according to the New York Herald, front which Hie following is learned about this important "lind:" The egg was floating on the calm sea, within twenty yards of the luarli, and is supposed to have be!i washed away with the foreshore, whicn cons-ists of sand hills, after a hurrr-an- in the early part of the year.

The eg?, which is whltey brown In color and unbroken. Is a fin" specimen. 33'.-2 inches by 23 inches, and an even higher value is placed upon It than upon the egg of the great auk. which lived within the memory of man. The Brobdignagian proportions of the egg are better demons fated by comparison with the eggs of the ostrich and crocodile. An ostrich's erg Is about 17 inches by 15 Inches, and the contents of six such are only equal to one egg of the EpyornL. The measurements of the egg of the crocodile are normally 9 inches by 6I3 inches. It would require the contents of lfiVj emu's eggs to equal the contents of this great egg. or 14S eggs of the homely fowl, or 30,000 of the humming bird. The last egg of th? kind disposed of In Ixrdon sold for 100, though cracked. Wntrhrd the Measure Intently. "Not long since In Galveston," says a drummer, "I entered a telegraph office to send a dispatch to my house. As I was waiting an old negro brought to the office a message which he wanted sent immediately. "The operator scanned the message and replied 'All right.' and proceeded to dispatch the missive. When this was completed he took down his file, spitted the original on the hook and then turned his attention to other business. "The negro took his seat and sat for half an hour, never taking his eyes off the paper on the hook. I was awaiting my own reply to a 'rush' dispatch, and as I had nothing bt tter to do I watched Mm carefully. Presently his patience was exhausted. Approaching the desk, he said: " 'I say, boss, hain't yer gow in ter pond dat message? It's berry important an' should go 'megetly.' "The operator looked up in surprise and then said: 'Why. old man. I pent the dispatch long ago. It's delivered loner before this." "The darky looked at the man with surprise and then said: 'No, 'taint. Ye can't fool dis chile. It's not sent at all; it's hanging up dar on de hook. I saw ye when ye put it dar, and I hain't taken my eyes off'n it since.' "The operator tried to explain a little of the theory of telegraphy, but the darky would not rest content. Nothlntr would have satisfied him except to see the mfsage itself whirling over the wires. Unless he has heard to the contrary, I feel assured that he doesn't believe now that his message was sent " N Y. Herald. Solltnry Hendln.

Among the counsels given to thoso muc h - advised persons, housekeepers, is this one, wafted on the wings of wisdom and experience. 'Tay cash and shun tho passbook or nny other form of credit system." Thus cnb. It Is Fa'd, can Ft riet economy and living within one's income be learned. If one has only 50 cents in her purse, let the dinner ccst 4'J cents r-ither than. 51 cents. The consciousness of having- lived within one's means will in the Ion? run far outweigh the delight even of soml dlnneni. The passbook. It is claimed, is a beuller into extravagance and luxurious living, a breeder of dissensions between the trader and his customer, and when viewed In its total at tbc month's end a cause of grief and p.-stonishment to her who must pay the bill. Having faithfully tried both ways of buying. I am prepared to defend the passbook and to urge its general adoption in place of daily payments. It is easier, takes less t!mt and need not involve temptation to extravagance. In these days when housekeeping is a science. Intelligent and conscientious women are not tempted to extravagance. Many good and wholesome dishes are Inexpensive, and if occasional Indulgence in costly food be permitted the weekly account can be evened up by greater economy. Corned beef or an IHh stew, like "the little girl with the little curl." when thoy ere good, are very good, and they make a happy medium when averaged with a pair c f fowls or a roast. By the use of a passbook the vexing necessity of making change is avoided. The grocer knits his brow when a fivedollar bill is given to pay for a yeast cake ar.d a few other trifles, rummages in his cash drawer and sends his boy to half a dozen pities to find change. If the order Is a large one, other customers must wait while the grocer foots the bill and the lady reviews the column before makirtg payment. It would incommodate fewer people if this account were looked over in the 1 -isure ar.d privacy of her own house. I have stood wearily in a butcher's !hop. seats not being provided, twenty-live minutes by the clock, waiting my turn, while others selected their meats, looked over and talked fiver their accounts and paid. Fully half this time would have been saved had every lady carried her passbook, as I did mine. When the passbook is used, jet it be tho only account kept. Two accounts st ld'-rri agree. If tho book invariably accompanies tho purchaser, there will bo no additions or alterations to be made at the end of the month, and consequently no surprises for the customer. She mav look it over and foot th? columns every day or every week and see exactly whore she stands. My own way is to instruct my grocer to keep no separate account, and to insist that members of my own family shall always take the book with them when sent upon errands. The grocer must refuse to take any order, even from myself, unless the litile book be first produced. It is the daybook and ledger of both parties. It is therefore correct. As goods are selected they are noted by the Rp'ccr, with their prices, in the book. When the artiil -s are delivered, the book lies on the top of the basket, and ho cook is required to compare parcels with account book to rnahe sure that nothing has been omitted, if a grocer would r.t accede to this ?intp!c and accurate arrangement. I would refuse him my trade. Hut I have never found one who did not glad'y adopt the Ida it and wish it universal. Women who fcivo their orders at the door and think no iiio-e about their marketing canivt of t-iuis-? use tho passbook. They most a-i t ot the grocer's stator.ifiit.be it right or wrng. Hut such I cannot help regarding as ani"ii those .vho shirk responsibilities and therefore ujxui whom advi. ? is wasted. Harper's Hazar. The f'litijilncr Vine. The figure of woman as the clinging vino lias hen altogether overworked. It may be pertinent in individual cases, but it does not repre'nt accumtely the relation which women sustain to men, either in this country or in many others. Among the lab'Ttng classes of the world fiver the women do p.s much work as the tuen, and perhaps on the whole a great deal more. They do not reed to cling to thir husbands or brothers to do it, fn.i in "higher walks" of life, if we accept conventional distinctions as true ones, it is the men who appear frequently as the clinging vino?, supported by a trellis in the shape of a wife. A French writer, in speaking of Parisian women, says: "What in particular distinguishes the Parisian woman from other women is her good humor and clear head. She knows how to use her gifts no less In society than in business. She Is often tho real leader and director of the affairs which carry the husband's name. While monsieur travels about, giving orders, making purchases, cashing checks, visiting factories, etc., madam sits in th magazine and holds all the threads of the business in her hand. Phe has often that prevoyance which is usually credited to the husband, and his firmness and courage united with feminine tact and quick perception. At home, as mother and wife, she shows the same admirable qualities." The same praise might be awarded to many American women, though Americans have not shown their good sense to the same extent as Frenchmen In taking their wives into business confidence. Christian Register. Ilen n iy Ahrond. The question of the beauty of English women is being vigorously debated. Grant Allen records his observations now compared with twenty-five years ago, when he flrst went to France. He says: "I was struck by the extreme plainness of the French peasant girls, the visible unint?lligenee of the bourgeoisie, and tho mere sprightliness without real beauty of the upper class women. In England, judged by American stand- j a ras. i tnougnt tne women or me lower classes heavy find dumpy, of the middle classes often dull looking, though frequently pretty; of the upper classes cold, but handsome. "After twenty-five years I see little change in France, but much change in England. Reality, to my eye, is distinctly more freouent. Intelligent beauty is immensely rrnimontT. Uright, pretty girls now aboii ; id here and there in the lower class. The upper class remains much where It was, but In the middle classes the improvement Is unspeakable. Prettlness Is general, and real beauty Is much more frequent than formerly. Girls are better grown, have finer figures, look much more intelligent and pos-sess belter chiseled features on an average than their met hers." N. Y. Sun's London Letter. Stays nnil Mamln, The American Woman's Illustrated World prints the result of an Interesting cxieriment made, by a dozen young women under the direction of Dr. Sargent to determine the Influence of tight clothing upon tho action of the heart. The test was the running of 440 yards in loos pymnaslum garments and covering the same distance with the corsets on. Th? running time was two minutes and thlrtv seconds for each trial and In order that there rhould be no cardiac excitement or depression following the test the Btcond trial was made the next day. Before beginning the running the average heart impulse was eighty-four beats.

The next day corsets were w. rn during th" exercise and the tiveragre pirth of waist was reduced-to twentytour inch-s. The same distance was run in the same tlm? by all and Immediately afterward the average heart impulse was found to be IDS beats per minute. su r--?ri r s: vs that he v. ever feels justified In advising an athlete whose heart Impulse is 160 beats per minute after ... i.iue - xeivis- tocntr:i rimninr r rowdng race, and from this may be Inferred the physiological loss entailed upon the system in women who force this Important organ to labor under the disadvantage cf a tight corset. Wnnifin nntl Dress. It is curious that knickerbockers should be the wear of all the women of the eastern hemisphere, where femininity is more insisted on than in our purer atmosphere, and yet tha,t here th petticoat is so strenuously supported as "the badge of all our tribe." There is really nothing essentially immodest in a costume that allows the fact to be perceived that a woman is a bipod, and surely a dress that covers the limbs separately, and therefore effectually, must be admitted (once the possibility of displaying two feet being allowed! to be the more suitable style of apparel for all occasions of exercise. It of course is so far unpleasant for a modest woman to wear such a dress that, being novel, attracts observation, but as sfwn as it became customary- any suclv special notice would cense. It is not so long ago that a woman who bathed in the sea in a dual parmerit was considered "fast." but row even the bathing machine proprietor i3 converted and gives Harriot for the day the use of a divided Rannen t, and we all perceive that it is by far the most decent method of dressing for circumstancer. No d-ubt a similar truth for it is equally trtio will ere loner be accepted as to the cycling drc-rs. The loose skirt working1 up and down over the ankles with the wheel is the really offensive spectacle, and the only other alternative namely, that woman shall not cycle at all is not likely to be Adopted. London 'Illustrated News. Don't Whip the Children. The old ironclad methods of punishment are happily fast passing away. There has born a vast change in public sc-ntiineni during the last century. The "rod is spared" these days by humane parents. So are the dark closets ana other horrors. Hut. it may be rsked. do the ger.tle reproofs. the chilling look?, the deprivation of treats, accomplish the much to be desired results? Are the children better behaved than of yore? There may not be so much outward fear of their ciders. There may be less awe and reverence, fewer outward and visible rigns of an inward respect fr authority, but surely there is less inward, corroding- rebellion. While children may not love their parents uvy more, they are on better terms with them than formerly. The father who Js chummy with his boy, who gets down to that eager, inquiring, restlos littlo soul and xplains, visits and encourages, does not need to cut a birch gad or buy a horsewhip in ord"r to maintain discipline. And the moth -r who sympathizes, cuddles and plays with her children can keep ht r slippers on her feet and her hairbrush on the dressing table. The holding off of children is a fruitful soor e of disobedience. They need love, tenderness and sympathy as mu'-h as flowers need air and sunshine. Woman Write. A Trihnlp to I.ucy Sfone. Frances E. Will ird contributes to Lady Ilenrj- Somerset's paper, the London Woman's Herald, an appreciative sketch of Mrs. Lucy Stone. Miss Willard says: "From my earliest recollection I have known i f her character and work, for she was a student in Oo-rlin colh ge when my parents were there, and I ut-ol to heir my mother sp-ak of the independence of character of Lucy Stone, which led her to decline on graduation day the honors she had earned because tho essay she had written was to bo read by the professor of English literature Instead of by Its author." Miss Willard gives an outline of Mrs. Stone's life and says: "As a pioneer in the most unpopular of all reforms Mrs. Stone has perhaps suffered more than almost any of her associates. When the 'woman movement has moved on to victory and no artllieial limitations hedge her from helping humanity to the limit of her power the name of Lucy Stone will stand beside that of John Hampden in the history of the Anglo-Saxon race." Hiss Wllinrd's Advice. Miss Willard gives the following excellent advice to young women: "As you sit around the evening lamp can you not resolve that you will commit to memory at last a verse a day from the best poets? I shall never cease to be thankful to Prof. William P. Jones, my earliest preceptor in the . woman's college In Evanston, who asked all of us girls Jto form this habit. Indeed he made it a rule for his rhetoric chiss, and would give us scraps that he had cut from the newspapers of the day ar.d say, 'Learn that; it will be a. gem laid up in the casket of your mind.' "This became so much a habit that I have now pinned to my bureau a little collection containing seven of the best sonnets ever written, some of which I am committing to memmory, and upon others I am refreshing the knowledge I already had.

Atlanta Constitution. A Pretty DI.Ii. The next time yru are planning a small dinner ask your butcher to cut your fore quarter of lamb into a "crown" piece, if he known how, he will do it so skillfully that after it has been ronsted it will ren.cH the table aa round as a crown, with the clean chop ends sticking up and out in an artis-

tically curving fashion, the whole simulating, as much as meat can simulate, the regi.1 headpiece. Turn a can of French i-aa Into the center of the crown, and these, falling through between the ribs, may suggest emeralds, or if they don't they'll prove a .u'table garnish and excellent eating.

Flowers In the House. A tiny garden can le made by cutting a pi-oe of f.heet wadding to lit the top of a bowl c,r a wide mouthed Jar, which is filled with water jur.t high enouph for the bottom of the wadding to touch it. Two or three small bits of charcoal will keep the water pure, and when all is a Tanged the top of the w-addinR Is sprinkled with setds of mignonette, sweojt pea or any other easily prown plant. The roots pierce down throuph the wadding- and are nourished by the water, while leaves and blossoms in a reasonable time' conceal the top. There is but one flower more beautiful than the morning glory on the outside of the bay window, and that is a mvrning glory trained up on the inside of the window and in full bloom while the winter storms are raging and the thermometer is below zero. They can be grown with very IJttle trouble. Kansas City Times. Why It Is 'Rndcliffe College." And why Radcliffe college? In the good old days, when the seventeenth century was young. Iord Moulton, one of England's noblemen, wooed and won the fair Anne Radcliffe. Whether my lord had money himself, or whether the bride brought him wealth, we cannot say. But at any rate Lady Moulton, nee Radcliffe. had money. And she gave Harvard 100 big. shining English pounds in 143, thereby establishing a precedent for other women and laying the foundation for the fame she will now er.jo;-. She was the first woman to give anything to Harvard and one of tho first to give to any educational purpose. That's why it's Radcliffe college. Boston Post. Mis Mary Cutler' Farm.

While all the branches of market gardening and nursery- are under hpr supervision, she can entertain visitors with all the eas of a fashionable dame. She is a good musician, paints pictures which wovld pleas? an artist j'.nd can converse upon any topic of the day. Such a woman is not "burb-d" by lining a profit making farmer.

Little bags of muslin should be tilled with this mixture and laid among the garments. Philadelphia Call. WOMVS WOHLD I PAH A Gil A 11 IS. Thanksgiving day was finally established as a general holiday through the exertion of a woman Mrs. Sarah Josepha Hale, the Philadelphia editor. Mrs. Hale agitated the subject in her writings constantly during the darkest period of the late war. Then, after she had manufactured a public sentiment in favor of Thanksgiving- day. she went to President Lincoln and begged him to issue a proclamation for the observance of the last Thursday in November, 1R64. as the ThanVspivinp holiday. President Lincoln granted her petition and uttered the proclamation, and so the day has stood the hist Thursday in November ever since. Many of the flowers that supply the New York markets are raised a hundred miles away from the city, being shipped to dealers by express. When the thermometer is at zero, the floriculturist wraps the blossoms and plants in cotton wool and puts them Into a close covered wagon which is warmed by an oil lamp or stove and drives to the railway station. There they the transferred to a car also thoroughly warmed, thence carried to their destination.

Holt has been for many years lnsiector for the Woman's protective agency of Chicago. This agency is much engaged in securing wages to women when employers try to cheat the-ni out of it. Mrs. Holt found that she could do little without the services of a lawyer. This meant an expense the agency could not afford.

Now Mrs. Rates and her daughters conduct a very successful business of cultivating lily bulbs, selling them at the rate of COO a week and realizing a handsome Income.

THE LUXURIES THAT KILL.

THE AITHOR OF "IU'T LEDGE" SAYS TUB AIItTIUIIT STOVE IS OXE Miriam Cole Harri on "Modern Improvement "Koos to the Ileulth of Country People An Inftldloua nud Wily Knrra y V It rrny Dtafnion. (Copyright, 1S93. bv American Press Association.) The air-tight stove is an insidious, a wily enemy. It gives you warmth without trouble, but also without ventilation and without cheer. Think of the pood old days of our hardy granfathers, when flames roared up the chimney and carried all impurities of the air with them. You cannot have better ventilation than by an open fire. No matter if your bac k freezes and your cheeks burn, your lungs nre not poisoned by used-up air and your skin is not parched by the dry, unwholesome heat. You know, undoubtedly, that consumption, the scourge of modern New England, has more than doubled since the introduction of the air-tight stove. You know that Americans are a race of dyspeptics, the unhealthiest race on the face of the globe at least on the healthy part of its face. Yellow, lean, nervous, anxious-looking people, all of us. in the city and in the country. Look at the hardy Scotch and English farmers and their buxom wives and daughters. They do not look as if they had been bred on the same planet with us. Our women break down earlier than those of other nations, the men giow old at twice the rate. There must be some reason for it. It does not seem probable that it Is the climate nor inherited weaknesses, but that it is the result of the conditions under which we live and bring up our children. The plain fact is, we are dying of our luxuries, our "modern improvements." Our easy money-getting is our curse. Better be a little less comfortable and a little more healthy, a littlo harder worked and a little longer lived. But let us begin with the air we breathe. I think that If an instrument could be Invented which would register the impurities in the atmosphere, we should all open our windows when it marked "vile." The worst of our heaven bestowed instrument of detection, our organ" of smell, is that it pets quite fait of order if long iu an impure atmosphere and does not record correctly. Now fancy for a moment what the air must be In any ordinary living room in any ordinary farmer's or mechanic's dwelling in the middle of winter. The stove has beep, burning night and day for months;. The windows are corked up, the doors are "listed" even, possibly. There is cookir.. and there is eating, and there is smoking going on. and there are at night one or more kerosene lamps burning actively for hours. And underneath all there is that arsenal of woe. the cellar, filled perhaps with spoiled potatoes and other decaying vegetable matter. Now. where is this air to po to and how is fresh air to come in to take its place? How can huma a beings stand breathing that sort of atmosphere? The men have the best of it, for they have, most of them, to go out into the open air, whether they want to or not. but their wives and daughters usually have to stay in and do the work of the house, without having air enough to fill their lungs, and it is no wonder that their blod is impoverished and that their organs, one and all, lose strength. It is an unnatural and monstrous life, ami it is Pot to be wondered at that feeble children are born of the mothers who have to lead it. I especially pitv mv country sisters, in their hot. low rooms, doing work at such a disadvantage. It is like making bricks without straw. I pity my sisters, too. who equally defy the laws of health in dress, diet and air. Rut now I am talking to the country tines, and this Is what I say: Heaven never meant you to lead sin ii lives or breathe such air. You are killing yourselves by inches, and it is quite in your own hands to prevent It. You have bricked up your chimneys and bought your stoves, and that probably can't be helped, but you can at least take the stuffing out of the windows and get ventilators for them and make it a duty to air the room several times a day. And buy some thermometers thermometers are very cheaji and put one in every room, and when It 'pets to C8 deprees open the doors and windows and keep the temperature down to that. Do not sit in a draft that Is fatal but "open your windows and po out of the room and come back to it when it is fresh. The more devitalized the air is, the less it warms you. Sixty-eight degrees of good air warms you more than seventy-eight degrees of vitiated air does. People on the other fide of the ocean think they cannot breathe when the thermometer pets above sixty deprees. I wonder what they would think of our rooms and of our railway cars. Americans think they can stand any heat. They certainly have become insensible to it. It is difficult to make any place "too hot" for them. And here in this unrivaled air. this wonderfully fine new world climate, you men and women ought to be models of health and strength, and you are not. Think of It. you who live beside the sea, there is nothing between you and Spain. You can draw a breath 3.000 miles long every time you open your windows, and you don't open thorn, but hup your stoves and shut out the air and wonder that you don't feel well. And you who live among the mountains, where city people siend thousands of dollars to take their families every summer, what air do you breathe seven months in the year? 'Air that you have made bad enough to kill a dog. with your stoves, and your lamps, and your stuffed up windows. Now. really, it seems a pity that we can't get something out of our splendid clear sunshine, and our strong winds, and our rich soil here in America. If you lived in a foggy little island like England, where the sun scarcely ever shines, and where the raw chill cats into one's very bones, you might complain. Or if you had to endure the cold, cheerless winters of Germany, or indeed of all northern Europe, you might say that nature had not done much for you, and it was no wonder that you were not healthy. Rut in fact you have glorious suns, and fine clear air, and a soil that breeds less evil than elsewhere, and, with all that, you are the unhealthiest people In the world. You do everything to counteract the good that heaven has sent you, and probably you charge heaven with your miseries. To you The blessed sun and air Are banned and barred, forbidden rare, tuit forbidden, not by heaven, but by your own Ignorance and folly. The air is like the grace of God It is there for you. healing, salvation, health, without inonev and without price and you refuse iL WILLIAM COLES HARRIS. Cement Thnt AVIII Slick to Anything. Take two ounces of clear gum arable, ono and one-half ounces of fine starch and a half ounce of white sugar. Pulverize the gum arable and dissolve in as much water as the laundress would use for the quantity of Ftarch Indicated. Dissolve the starch and sugar in the fjum. solution. Then cook the mixture In a vessel suspended in boiling water until the starch becomes clear. The cement should be as thick as tar nnd should be kept so.
